I would have been fine he was still shown only as a wonderful son, a brother and a brother-in-law which he is but realistically speaking he is neither a husband material nor a father material, not at all. He has only failed Raavi multiple times which the girl doesn’t seem to understand because she herself is lacking self love, self respect and self esteem. The writers did great injustice to these characters.
Love is not about intensity, pulling, pushing, manhandling, punching on the wall, endless eyelock etc. These might work in the early stages of their love but not after being married for many years, especially when you have kids. They have been married for 9 years and now have a kid but their story is marred with misery, disasters, Other people coming between their relationship, lack of support, lack of understanding, constantly told by Suman or Bhabima what to do. Raavi has given so much for this relationship for it to work whereas Shiva has put in zero effort. It is like she is repaying his gesture of saving her life when Dev rejected her during the first marriage, Then again Shiva had the perfect opportunity to back out during remarriage if he ever was doubtful, not willing to be bound by the relationship, or be toed to Raavi for life. The story would have been more realistic and relatable. Now its frustrating to see their relationship on screen which has digressed so much! It all looks one-sided and the writers are showing all this crap because they have no new ideas to show nor willing to copy from the original.
In the original whatever maybe the dynamics between the brothers, each time one if them leaves and then they join the family after few months but the main premise is the husband-wife relationship which has been shown to be very strong amongst all the 4 couples. There never has been any separation between the couples except at the beginning when Kathir and Mullai were separated for 25 episodes (4 days in the show) before they confessed, that’s about it. Otherwise all the 4 couples have shown to have rock solid partnership and has been going on till date with 1160 episodes completed
My posts from 2 years ago had a different perspective on Shiva- Raavi relationship, used to write extensively on how they will make it and become a success story. This was until Sneha Kaand happened, then everything went downhill after 150 episodes. Now after 700 episodes, watching them on screen makes you feel exasperated.
Many girls in real life think that they can change their spouse’s behavior and habits after marriage. But it will not happen unless the said person wants to change himself. Like Shiva’s anger, ability to listen to others POV, not jumping to conclusions, reading between the lines and misunderstanding without checking/verifying. These things have been constant in every Shiva- Raavi track and finally when he realizes what has he done, they end with a mere sorry and move on. Never have I seen the writers show Shiva thinking, how can I make it up to Raavi for what I did to her. Writers themselves think Raavi doesn’t deserve any of it.
Its just sad that a girl like Raavi who has decent education comes from a middle class family BG putting up with crap for the sake of love?? which has caused nothing but pain and misery for her 😕
